TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure generally relates to computerized systems and methods for determining authenticity. In particular, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to inventive and unconventional systems for determining authenticity using micro expressions of a human user.

BACKGROUND

As the Internet has become more wide-spread, electronic transactions have displaced face-to-face transactions. Types of electronic transactions can vary, including purchasing items and borrowing money. Because it is hard to determine authenticity of a transaction partner without face-to-face interaction, there exist various ways to detect fraud.

The existing methods to determine authenticity, however, are perfunctory in nature. They evaluate credibility of an applicant using transaction or credit history, and are thus limited to a small set of data that relates to the applicant. Moreover, transaction or credit history can be fabricated; therefore, the determination may not be accurate. Because of this reason, the existing methods often require face to face interaction or phone conversation with the person engaging the transaction. By doing this, however, the cost of the transactions increases, and the process gets delayed. Therefore, there is a need for improved systems and methods for accurately determining authenticity in an electronic manner.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description refers to the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the following description to refer to the same or similar parts. While several illustrative embodiments are described herein, modifications, adaptations and other implementations are possible. For example, substitutions, additions, or modifications may be made to the components and steps illustrated in the drawings, and the illustrative methods described herein may be modified by substituting, reordering, removing, or adding steps to the disclosed methods. Accordingly, the following detailed description is not limited to the disclosed embodiments and examples. Instead, the proper scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods configured for determining authenticity of a human user. The disclosed embodiments are advantageously capable of determining authenticity using micro-expressions in an electronic manner. Micro-expressions may include involuntary fleeting facial movements, which last only a fraction of a second. Micro-expressions may also include micro eye movement or micro trembling of speech. They are subtle and nearly impossible to suppress and fake. Because micro-expressions can reveal emotions people may be trying to hide, recognizing micro-expressions can aid determining authenticity of a user.

In one implementation, a user device may send an electronic request to a server. Upon the request, the server may generate one or more questions for a user. The user device may receive the generated questions and display the questions for a user. The user device may receive answers from the user and send the answers to a deep learning algorithm engine (DLAE). The DLAE may analyze the answers that the user provides using two convolutional neural networks (CNN). CNNs are biologically inspired variants of multilayer perceptrons that are designed to emulate the behavior of a visual cortex where the brain processes visual information. The results from two CNNs are integrated into a single classifier that predicts the emotion associate with the user's micro-expression. If the emotion is not determined, the server generates more questions until the emotion is determined. When the emotion is determined, the user's authenticity may be determined using the determined emotion. The user's answers are analyzed and stored in the system, e.g., in a database.

In some embodiments, the user may be a loan applicant, and the described system may be used by financial institutions like a bank. When the user is a loan applicant, the system may determine the authenticity of the applicant by analyzing the applicant's answers using two CNNs. The two CNNs may include a spatial CNN and a temporal CNN. The results from two CNNs are integrated into a single classifier that predicts the emotion associate with the applicant's micro-expression. The present systems and the methods may determine an applicant's authenticity efficiently and accurately, managing the entire process electronically.

Referring to FIG. 1, an exemplary network of devices in communication with a deception detection system (DDS) 110 is shown. As illustrated in FIG. 1A, DDS 110 may communicate with a deep learning algorithm engine (DLAE) 120 and user devices 130A-130C via network 100. In some embodiments, DDS 110 may communicate with DLAE 120 or user devices via a direct connection, for example, using a cable.

DDS 110, in some embodiments, may be implemented as a computer system that determines a user's authenticity. DDS 110 may comprise a single computer or may be configured as a distributed computer system including multiple computers that interoperate to perform one or more of the processes and functionalities associated with the disclosed examples. In some embodiments, DDS 110 generates questions to ask to user 140, when receiving an electronic request from user devices 130A-130C.

As shown in FIG. 1, DDS 110 may comprise processor 112 and database 114. Processor 112 may be one or more known processing devices, such as a microprocessor from the Pentium™ family manufactured by Intel™ or the Turion™ family manufactured by AMD™. Processor 112 may constitute a single core or multiple core processor that executes parallel processes simultaneously. For example, processor 112 may use logical processors to simultaneously execute and control multiple processes. Processor 112 may implement virtual machine technologies or other known technologies to provide the ability to execute, control, run, manipulate, store, etc. multiple software processes, applications, programs, etc. In another example, processor 112 may include a multiple-core processor arrangement configured to provide parallel processing functionalities to allow DDS 110 to execute multiple processes simultaneously. One of ordinary skill in the art would understand that other types of processor arrangements could be implemented that provide for the capabilities disclosed herein.

Although not shown in FIG. 1, DDS 110 may include a memory. A memory may store one or more operating systems that perform known operating system functions when executed by processor 112. By way of example, the operating system may include Microsoft Windows, Unix, Linux, Android, Mac OS, iOS, or other types of operating systems. Accordingly, examples of the disclosed invention may operate and function with computer systems running any type of operating system. Memory may be a volatile or non-volatile, magnetic, semiconductor, tape, optical, removable, non-removable, or other type of storage device or tangible computer readable medium.

DDS 110 may include at least one database 114. Database 114 may store data that may be used by processor 112 for performing methods and processes associated with disclosed examples. Database 114 may be located in DDS 110 as shown in FIG. 1, or alternatively, it may be in an external storage device located outside of DDS 110. Data stored in database 114 may include any suitable data, such as information relating to potential questions to ask to a user. Questions may include typical questions that may be asked to any users, or questions that are customized for a user who interacts with DDS 110. Exemplary questions may include, “what is your income,” “what is your profession,” “how long have you stayed at your current address,” “what is your phone number,” and “what is your identification number.”

Deep learning algorithm engine (DLAE) 120 may be located outside of DDS 110 as shown in FIG. 1. Alternatively, or additionally, in some embodiment, DLAE 120 may be located inside of DDS 110. DLAE 120 may analyze a user's answers using two CNNs. As discussed below with respect to FIG. 2, the two CNNs, in some embodiments, may include spatial CNN 120A and temporal CNN 120B. Spatial CNN 120A and temporal CNN may be known neural network, for example, VGG-16 and ResNet 50.

Spatial CNN 120A may be pre-trained on faces from image sources, and temporal CNN 120B may be pre-trained using video sources. The CNNs may be trained for one or more predetermined emotion classes using a dataset having labeled data for each emotion. One known example of such a dataset is ImageNet. ImageNet is a large visual dataset designed for use in visual object recognition software research.

In some embodiments, predetermined emotions may comprise any number of pre-determined emotion classes. For example, the pre-determined emotion classes may include happiness, surprise, disgust, and repression. The trained CNNs may have ground truths established for each emotion classes. In some embodiments, after the CNNs are trained, one or more additional data sets may be used to check accuracies of the established ground truths. The ground truths are the standard emotion based on which the user's emotion is measured. For example, if a user's micro facial expression perfectly matches the ground truth for happiness, then the user is 100% happy. But if a user's micro-expression matches only 50% with the ground truth for happiness, then the user is 50% happy. The results from two CNNs are integrated into a single classifier that predicts the emotion associate with the user's micro expression.

In some embodiments, a depiction of a user, including video and audio, may be pre-processed before DLAE 120 analyzes the depiction. In some embodiments, DLAE 120 may extract frames from video after DLAE 120 receives the video representing the user. The extraction frequency made be pre-determined. In some embodiment, DLAE 120 may extract frames every ten seconds from the received video. The exacted images may be analyzed using spatial CNN 120A and temporal CNN 120B.

As explained above, using the extracted frames, DLAE 120 may determine how similar user's face expressions to the ground truths for each emotion class. For example, DLAE 120 may analyze, using spatial CNN 120A, positions and actions of eyes, eyebrow, nose, mouth, etc. in the extracted frames. For example, a frame may include a user's micro-expression showing that the user is 30% anxious, 50% repressed, 70% surprised, and 20% happy, compared to the established ground truth. The analyzed results may be used as an input for temporal CNN 120B. Temporal CNN 120B may analyze the changes of the user's micro-expressions over time. In some embodiments, temporal CNN may analyze head shaking, head nodding, or micro eye-movement of a user. Temporal CNN 120B also may recognize voice micro trembling.

The result from spatial CNN 120A and temporal CNN 120B may be combined. In some embodiments, DLAE 120 may use ensemble methods, i.e. multiple learning algorithms, to combine two results. In some embodiments, the combined results may be further analyzed using logistic regression models.

Based on the combined result 120C, DLAE 120 may determine the user's emotions, which can be used to determine the user's authenticity. If the emotion is not determined, DDS 110 may generate more questions. The answers for the additional questions may be further analyzed by DLAE 120. DDS 110 may continue generating questions until the user's emotion is determined.

DDS 110 and DLAE 120 may communicate with user device such as tablet 130A, mobile device/PDA 130B, computer 130C, or the like. User devices 130A-130C may include a display. The display may include, for example, liquid crystal displays (LCD), light emitting diode screens (LED), organic light emitting diode screens (OLED), a touch screen, and other known display devices. The display may show various information to a user. For example, it may display questions generated by a server or results determined by DLAE 120.

User devices 130A-130C may include one or more input/output (I/O) devices. The I/O devices may include one or more devices that allow user devices 130A-130C to send and receive information from user 140A-140C or another device. The I/O devices may include various input/output devices, a camera, a microphone, a keyboard, a mouse-type device, a gesture sensor, an action sensor, a physical button, an oratory input, etc. For example, a user may provide a video of the user's face to DDS 110 through a camera and microphone of user device 130A-130C. The I/O devices may also include one or more communication modules (not shown) for sending and receiving information from DDS 110 by, for example, establishing wired or wireless connectivity between user devices 130A-130C and network 100.

User devices 130A-130C may comprise a video camera or may be connected to a remote video camera. User devices 130A-130C may transmit video and audio signals to DDS 110. In some embodiments, video and audio signals may be compressed using a codec including, for example, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, a lossless codec, or other codecs. In some embodiment, the signals may be compressed using MPEG-4 and MPEG-2. In some embodiments, video and audio signals may be separately encoded and/or compressed using different codecs.

User 140A-140C may be any person who provides electronic request to DDS 110. In some embodiments, user 140A-140C may be a loan applicant. In some case, DDS may be employed by financial institutions such as bank and credit unions. User 140A-140C may use user devices 130A-130C to receive questions from DDS 110 and provide answers to DDS 110. The applicant's answers may be analyzed by DLAE 120.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an exemplary method performed by deep learning algorithm engine (DLAE), consistent with the disclosed embodiments. DLAE 120 may receive raw data 210 from user 140A-140C via user devices 130A-130C. Raw data 210 may include video and/or voice in user's answers in response to one or more questions. As explained above, facial expression and audio in raw data 210 may be analyzed using the two convolutional neural networks (CNN).

Through the analysis using CNNs, DLAE 120 may detect a user's micro-expression, such as micro facial expression, micro eye-movement, and speech micro trembling. As explained above, DLAE 120 may analyze a user's video and/or audio using spatial CNN 120A and temporal CNN 120B. Using the combined result, DLAE 120 may determine emotion as an intermediate result 220. Intermediate result 220 may be the probability distribution over the pre-determined emotion.

The intermediate result, in some embodiments, may be used to determine a user's authenticity. The authenticity may be scored based on the determined emotion. If the score is above a threshold value, the user may be considered to be truthful, and if the score is below a threshold value, the user may be considered to be untruthful.

FIG. 3A depicts exemplary modules at a client side of DDS 110. These modules exemplify functions performed by DDS 110 with respect to client interaction. The division between client side and server side is for illustrative purposes, and the division is not required in all embodiments. The client-side of DDS 110 may include problem base interaction module 300, audio and video acquisition module 310, and audio and video feature extraction module 320. Problem base interaction module 300 may include question generation module 302, question selection module 304, inquiries decision module 306, and problem hints module 308.

Question generation module 302 may generate questions upon receiving an electronic request from user device 130A-130C. Question selection module 304 may select one or more questions to ask user 140. In some embodiments, generating and asking the questions may be done electronically, for example, by presenting a textual question, or using a text-to-speech module.

Question selection module 304 may use database 114, which stores suitable datasets, including potential questions that can be asked to a user. For example, the database 114 may include potential questions that relate to a user's income, profession, address, phone number or identification. In selecting question for user 140A-140C, question selection module 304 may consider any information that a user provided, including user's previous answers to one or more previous questions. In some embodiments, if a user's answer for a question is ambiguous, Question selection module 304 may select the next question to clarify the answer for the question. In some embodiments, question selection module 304 may rank the generated questions according to its importance and necessity.

Inquiries decision module 306 may determine if DDS 110 needs to ask further questions to determine a user's emotion. For example, analysis results of one or more user's previous answers are not sufficient to determine user's emotion, inquiries decision module 306 may signal DDS 110 that further question is required.

Problem hints module 308 may provide user 140A-140C one or more hints when a user's answer deviates from various predicted potential answers by more than expected. In some embodiments, problem hints module 308 may function to suggest proper answers to the current question. For example, DDS 110 may ask a loan applicant, “which day of the month will you pay the installments for the loan?” The user may misunderstand the question and may answer, “Wednesday.” In that case, DDS 110 may provide problem hints 308 and ask, “which date each month?”

Audio and video acquisition module 310 may include audio/video coding module 312 and save and upload servers module 314. Audio/video coding module 312 may encode raw data received from user device 130A-130C before they are saved and uploaded to DDS 110. The coding may change raw data 210 into a different format that may be accessed, modified, or analyzed by DDS 110 and/or DLAE 120. As explained above, the codec may include MPEG-4, MPEG-2, a lossless codec, or other codecs. Save and upload servers module 314 may save the encoded raw data in DDS 110.

After a user's audio and video are saved and uploaded to DDS 110, audio and video features may be extracted. Audio and video feature extraction module 320 may include audio features module 322, video features module 324, and feature data uploading server module 326. In some embodiments, audio features module 332 may extract audio data, and video features module 324 may extract video data. The extraction may be made with pre-determined frequency. For example, audio features module 322 and video features module 324 may extract audio and/or frames every ten seconds from the received video. The exacted images may be analyzed using spatial CNN 120A and temporal CNN 120B.

FIG. 3B depicts exemplary modules at a server side of DDS 110. These modules exemplify functions performed by DDS 110 with respect to internal interaction between systems, such as DLAE 120. As explained above, the division between client side and server side is for illustrative purposes, and the division is not required in all embodiments. Server side modules at DDS 110 may include streaming media module 330, business interface module 340, audio and video analysis module 350, and model calculation module 360.

Streaming media module 330 may include recording and saving module 332 and broadcasting module 334. The extracted data via audio and video feature extraction module 320, may be recorded and saved in a server for broadcasting by recording and saving module 332. The server may be the same server as the server used to save extracted data in FIG. 3A but may be a different server located in DDS 110. In some embodiment, the server may be located outside of DDS 110. A codec, such as, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, a Lossless codec, or other video codec, may be used to save the audio and video data.

Broadcasting module 334 may broadcast the video and audio data saved in a server by recording and saving module 332. As explained above, the audio and video may be pre-processed before being broadcasted. By being broadcasted 334, the recorded and saved audio and video may send their pixel data and optical flow data to spatial CNN 120A and temporal CNN 120B.

Business interface module 340 may include problem base logic module 342 and business system module 344. In some embodiments, business interface module 340 may perform communication between business system module 344 and DSS 110 and/or DLAE 120. In some embodiments, Business interface module 340 is a software interface to connect DLAE 120 to business system 344. Software interface may be the languages and codes that the applications use to communicate.

Business system module 344 may communicate with DLAE 120 and receive the determined user's authenticity data from DLAE 120. As explained above, the authenticity may be scored based on the determined emotion. In some embodiments, if the score is above a threshold value, the user may be considered to be truthful. Based on a user's determined authenticity, business system module 344 may make business decisions, for example, a loan approval or denial decision.

Problem base logic module 342 may assist business system module 344 to make a business decision. Problem base logic module 342 may analyze user's answers or any additional information provided by the user to determine whether it is worth to do business with the user. For example, if the user answered the user's income is far below than average and/or the user has a debt of more than twice of his annual income, business system module 344 may determine that the user may not have strong financial capacity, which may lower a possibility to do a business with the user.

In some embodiments, a user may be a loan applicant. In the embodiments, business system module 344 may make loan approval decisions based on an applicant's determined authenticity. Through business interface module 340, business system module 344 may receive determined applicant's authenticity from DDS 110 and/or DLAE 120. Problem base logic module 342 may analyze a loan applicant's answers or a submitted loan application to assess an applicant's financial capability. Based on the assessed an applicant's financial capability, business system module 344 may also further determine an interest rate for an approved loan. For example, business system module 344 may decide a lower interest rate to those with better financial capabilities.

Audio and video analysis module 350 may analyze broadcasted audio and video data using spatial CNN 120A and temporal 120B. Audio and video analysis module 350 may include facial features module 352 and voiceprint features module 354. Facial features module 352 may be analyzed using two CNNs, spatial CNN 120A and temporal CNN 120B. The results from two CNNs are integrated into a single combined result 120C that predicts the emotion associate with the user's micro-expression. Voiceprint features module 354 may analyze broadcasted audio data using temporal CNN 120B. As explained above, temporal CNN may detect speech micro trembling.

Model calculation module 360 may include expression analysis module 362 and voiceprint analysis module 364. Expression analysis module 362 may receive result from facial features model 352 and calculate a user's emotion shown from the user's facial expression. Voiceprint analysis module 362 may receive results from voiceprint features 354 and calculate a user's emotion shown from the user's voice trembling. In some embodiments, the voice may be analyzed using one of more CNNs that was trained using databases including voice data. Calculations from expression analysis module 362 and voiceprint analysis module 364 are combined. Based on the combined result, model calculation module 360 may determine the user's emotion.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of an exemplary deception detecting method. A deception detection method may comprise steps involving user device 130A-130C, deception detection system (DDS) 110, deep learning algorithm engine (DLAE) 120, and database 114.

In step 402, user device 130A-130C may generate an electronic request for a user (e.g., user 140A in FIG. 1). In some embodiments, user 140A may be a loan applicant and an electronic request may be generated when the applicant submits a loan application. In step 412, DDS 110 may receive the request and may generate one or more questions for user 140A-140C. The question may relate to a user's income, profession, address, phone number, or identification. In step 404, user device 130A-130C may receive generated question from DDS 110 and display the question on user device 130A-130C.

In step 406, user device 130A-130C may receive an answer from user 140A-140C and send the answer to DLAE 120. In step 422, DLAE 120 may analyze the received answer using two CNNs as explained above. In step 424, DLAE 120 may determine, using the analysis results, whether the user's emotion is determined 424. When DLAE 120 obtains a clear result on the emotion detection, the emotion may be considered determined. In step 432, the analysis results are stored in database 114, which DDS 110 may use in the future.

In step 426, DLAE 120 determines that the user's emotion and communicate this with user device 130A-130C. As explained above in FIG. 3B, the determined emotion may be used for DDS 110 to calculate the user's authenticity and finally make a business decision. In step 408, user device 130A-130C may display a determined business decision in response to user's electronic request.

If user's emotion is not determined in step 424, DLAE 120 may signal DDS 110 that additional question is required. Thus, in step 412, DDS 100 may generate one or more further questions. As explained above, in step 422, DLAE 120 may analyze user's additional answers. DDS 110 may generate additional questions until DLAE 120 determines that user's emotion is determined. The analyzed answers may be stored in database 114. As explained above, DDS 110 may have adaptive learning capacity and improve as it interacts with users and store more data from the users and could generate sharper questions when detect the customer might be lying.
